India defeat Netherlands by 160 runs, finish at the top of the table | Cricket World Cup

India's dominance at the ICC Cricket World Cup continued as the hosts trounced Netherlands by 160 runs to win all of their league games.

It was a Diwali to remember for India as the Men in Blue created history with their unbeaten streak, bettering their own records of the 2015 and 2019 records.

Nine wins is also the highest number of wins a single team has achieved since Australia's 11 victories at the 2003 and 2007 ODI World Cups.

Rahul's 62-ball 100 blitz and Iyer's posh unbeaten 94-ball 128 combined well with fifties by Shubman Gill (51), Rohit Sharma (61) and Virat Kohli (51), powered India to a mammoth 410 for 4, their second highest World Cup total.

Thus, India became the third team in this tournament to post 400 after South Africa and New Zealand.

The Indian bowlers did not have to sweat much to skittle the Dutch for 250 as even Kohli and Rohit, who took the final scalp, found themselves among the wicket-takers.

Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah took 2 while both spinners Kuldeep and Jadeja split 4 wickets amongst them.
